Kawasaki Z900 2025
The new Z900 masters the balancing act between modernisation and proven virtues remarkably well. The 6-axle IMU, the precise quickshifter and the new electronics package make it technically absolutely up-to-date, while the characterful four-cylinder engine loses none of its fascination despite Euro 5+. The harmonious setup of all components is particularly impressive: whether suspension, engine or ergonomics - the overall package is just right.
Harmonious engine with impressive acceleration in the mid-range
very well functioning quickshifter with precise responsiveness
mature riding performance with a good compromise between stability and nimble handling
sensitive 6-axle IMU with harmonious control
superbly tuned seating position
excellent engine reponsiveness
confident cornering behaviour with transparent feedback from the front
harmonious electronics that do not restrict riding pleasure
smooth transmission with perfectly tuned ratios
first-class stop-and-go behaviour in city traffic
intuitive bike for beginners and experienced riders
slim waist despite four-cylinder layout
Great 5 inch display but the possibilities are not perfectly utilised with the Rideology app
licence plate holder seems a little carelessly integrated into the design
fuel consumption in practice significantly higher than factory specification (6.0-6.5l instead of 4.8l)
suspension of the basic version a little stiff on poor asphalt
promised app functions not yet available at the time of testing
CFMOTO 675NK 2026
The CFMOTO 675NK is a successful naked bike for solo riders who are looking for something independent. It offers plenty of features, good riding performance and a cool look - with minor weaknesses in engine tuning and comfort. But you can forgive it a lot when you first read the price tag and then hear the purring of the three-cylinder engine.
Three-cylinder engine with a throaty sound
Modern design & high-quality workmanship
Easy-to-read 5-inch TFT display
Two-stage, disengageable traction control & ABS
Load change reactions below 4,000 rpm
quickshifter only for upshifting
